Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

As digital technology increasingly takes the place of traditional film cameras on movie shoots, this illuminating feature documentary lines up proponents on both sides to discuss the impact of the power of the pixel on the art and craft of the cinema. Keanu Reeves (who also co-produced) is on hand to chat with the absolute best in the business - James Cameron describes his part in developing a new generation of digital movie cameras, while Martin Scorsese feels he's had to learn his craft all over again when going digital on his more recent projects. Championing traditional methods, however, are Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan and his cameraman Wally Pfister, while David Fincher remains largely agnostic, as long as the tools are up to his demanding specifications. Thanks to a host of choice clips (on film and HD), Chris Kenneally's film is both even-handed and surprisingly accessible to both techno-geeks and the general audience alike. Timely and smartly assembled, it's above all hugely entertaining.
